| BRIAN ADAM D.O.B: 8.12.1949 Current home and workplace: Titirangi, West Auckland Artist Statement: "I try to make pleasing shapes into functional jewellery which feels comfortable and is durable. I collect beach pebbles, get Westland pounamu, and cut simple shapes using simple technology. My current jewellery is a lot more settled than when I was making diverse exhibition pieces: now I'm more inspired by grassroots level soft-tech sustainable processes, some of which I've invented along the way. I also make custom prescription frames as part of my jewellery: I'm inspired by classic 17th and 18th century silver eyeglass frames that were made by the jewellers of their time, but I draw mine up on a computer for precision and for customer archives". Training and Experience: Wellington Design School 1968-71, self-taught in jewellery since 1979. |
